Today all our students attended St Luke's Church for Easter collective worship where each House enjoyed a Rossington version of the quiz game Pointless.

As part of the academy's ongoing Careers, Education, Information and Guidance (CEIAG) programme Y7 students have been working in small enterprise groups to create Jazzy Jotters. Students were given a small budget and had to work as a team to plan, design and produce the jotters to the required specification whilst also ensuring that they quality assured all their products. There were some fantastic designs and some exceptional team work skills demonstrated.

The academy has been working with local business and further education providers ahead of the annual business day next Wednesday.

The next Bishop of Sheffield was announced by 10 Downing Street yesterday as the Right Reverend Philip John North and we were delighted that he chose to visit RASA in his new role. Bishop Philip had a brief tour of the academy and then had tea and biscuits with a number of students who were keen to ask him some very thought provoking questions.

At Rossington All Saints Academy we are striving for excellence and expect a high level of attendance from all of our students.

Every time students pass a quiz they are entered into a raffle and this terms winners were Armand Miftari and Brandon Lewin.
